Welcome to My Gay Universe

Welcome to My Gay Universe: A Space for LGBTQ+ Stories & Voices

Hey there! 👋 I’m Eric Aaberg, the author of My Gay Universe—a blog dedicated to sharing real, unfiltered stories about growing up LGBTQIA+, navigating identity, coming out, dating, and everything in between.

Why I Started This Blog

Growing up, I often felt like I was navigating life without a map. There weren’t many honest, relatable, and real stories about what it’s like to grow up gay—especially in places that aren’t always welcoming. So, I decided to create one.

My Gay Universe is here to be that space, a place where we can talk about the highs, the lows, the awkward moments, and the lessons learned along the way. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, living your best queer life, or just looking for a space that feels like home, you belong here.

What You’ll Find Here

💙 Openly Us: A collection of LGBTQIA+ interviews & shared experiences
📖 Queer Reflections: Personal essays & deep dives into identity
❤️ Dating & Relationships: The good, the bad, and the walking red flags
🌈 Coming Out Chronicles: Stories and advice on coming out
🌍️ Eric’s Universe: Specific posts, stories, and lessons I’ve learned along the way

I’m working on how a social media formatted podcast/series will look as well, as I know the majority of the LGBTQIA+ community is on TikTok and Instagram.
